Pink Friday- Roman Reloaded The Re-Up Review
So, it isn't anything as predictable as Gurl, Nice Weave, but it's no less remarkable. And that's being modest. Indeed, everything about Nicki Minaj's sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, could be best described as groundbreaking. The title, the art, the sequencing: pure genius.
There are eleven pop gems, eight rap classics, and a Lil Kim dis so scathing I want to become a fly so I could watch her reaction when she first hears it. There are, in all, nineteen songs I now consider among the best in hip-hop history.
here's a dozen guests doing their best to keep up with the rap goddess. Thankfully, you won't remember any of them. Nicki makes sure of it. Why, yes, by outrhyming everyone on every track. Exhibit A: "Champion" alongside Drake, Nas, and Young Jeezy, where Minaj schools those so-called emcees with a torrid fusion of eye-widening wordplay and ultracomplex Eminem-esque delivery. See also: "I Am Your Leader," in which she makes Cam'Ron sound like Rebecca Black.
What's more? Nicki's verbal dexterity has impressed so many artists across the board. Among them, the king of drip-stain painting, Jackson Pollock. Pollock was so enamored of Minaj's talent that he left the confines of his grave momentarily to design her album cover, thus making it the first hip-hop album cover designed by a zombie.
Everywhere you turn, there's evidence that Nicki Minaj is an indispensable genius, not only of hip-hop but contemporary music, period. Virtually everything she records bears the stamp of originality. Roman Reloaded is no different. Even when she's singing about farm implements (which she does a lot), or addressing inferior female dogs (which she does a lot), there's always an underlying sense of boundless ingenuity. (Read More)
